The Applied Wildland Fire Research in Support of Project Level Hazardous Fuels Planning Project was initiated as a pilot
project by the U.S. Forest Service in response to the need for tools and information useful for planning site-specific fuel
(vegetation) treatment projects.

The project's purpose is to provide decision support in the form of research information and new tools for project-level
fuels planning. Our goal is to improve access and use of research information.
The synthesis represents the collective judgment of the most knowledgeable scientific
experts in forest, wildlife and plant ecology, fire behavior, fire ecology, social science and other fields.
